Revision as of 02:10, 20 December 2012

As confirmed by forum discussion, cast lists shall give the name of the character, as listed in the credits seen on first transmission of an episode.

The character name shall be displayed exactly as in those credits, and in the order seen on original transmission. Thus, if characters are credited with only a first name, only that name should appear in the credits, linked by pipe trick to the full article name. For example, in the credits for The Hungry Earth, the character of Mo Northover shall be rendered thus:

[[Mo Northover|Mo]]

Any actors credited on subsequent transmission, or in home video releases, that were not originally credited shall be placed in a special subsection which alerts viewers to that fact.
